Love the red pinstripe on the wheels. I would also like a couple of closeups when you get the chance. Takes me back to 1969. I loved redline tires then and still do, even after all these years. I've had a few muscle cars in the past and IMO nothing looks better on them than redlines. Great job on your car!

Wow, I can't believe that you wrap everything without taking anything apart. Great job!
How did you wrap around the door handle? Is there a seam/cut behind?
Can you tell us exactly which 3M wrap you used?

Thanks! Ya, the only seam is in the passenger door panel where it went around that handle, it's very hard to see even if I showed it to you. The material is 3M 1080 black carbon fiber. I wouldn't use any of the cheap brands, they are way thinner and they don't conform nearly as well.

Sorry, I missed this question apparently. I don't think I could cut exact patterns for this because the material has to stretch to get it to conform. I would be happy to do a slightly oversized pattern that would be an easy install but would have to be trimmed once installed. The way all of these pieces are there are nice easy lines to follow to trim.

This thread is 2 years old 
I CAN do the emblem cut outs but I HATE them, this is probably the last stripe I did that way. It looks SO much better if you just take the extra 15 min to remove the emblems and re install. That stripe was the Oracal 951, where I talk about the 3M, that is 3M black carbon fiber that I used on the INTERIOR.

Overall, I love what you've done but there are a couple of details that bug me (sorry - I'm OCD). The driver-side roof stripe does not wrap around the edge the way thepassenger side does so the redpaint shows on one side and not the other. Also, the weave pattern on the console vs. the gauge cluster bezel vs. PW switch bezels don't match directions.
How long did it take to wrap those interior pieces?
